Unfortunately, this happens (even though we try to avoid it), and it's
not always obvious to either the submitter or us when it does.  As with
the actual Slackware tree, the best we can hope to happen is to quickly
catch it when it does and push an update.  I'll try to look at the new
gwenview asap.
